I never play all new stuff, because you got to "dance with the girl that brought you" what is that saying? You got to play the songs that got you there, so I love playing the songs from my very first record.

Don't apologize for all the tears you've cried, you've been way too strong now for all your life.

I think one of the things that I carry, and just my goals in life, is just encourage people and make them feel joy and celebrated and they leave feeling like maybe there was stuff talked about that was difficult, but then there was a voice of redemption and grace in the middle of that.

As an artist, you just want to keep creating, keep finding a place that really inspires you that feels fresh and new and keep it exciting.

The stories that are too personally vulnerable to write are the ones that must be told.

Songs really tend to connect.

The songs that you start to write that you are a little scared of can be the ones that you have to tell.
